The script is set in 1980s New York, where Madonna struggles to get her first album released while navigating fame, romance and a music industry that views women as disposable. Interesting, while an agent at CAA, Ron Meyer (now vice chairman of NBC/Universal) used to rep the singer. The title of the film comes from a tour launched in 1990 by the singer who was in her glory with No. 1 hits such as Like A Prayer, Express Yourself and Vogue. In 1991, the documentary Truth or Dare documented the tour.
